Trevone Boykin is one of several players that burst onto the college football scene with their stellar play in 2014.
The versatile quarterback springboarded TCU into the national spotlight as a possible College Football Playoff contender and while the Horned Frogs fell just short of the prize, Boykin showcased a potential that makes him one of my Heisman Trophy candidates in 2015.

When something as intense and sweeping as a national college football playoff invades our sporting lives for the first time, there is an irresistible urge to dive into every crazy nuance of the two Final Four games and overlook the obvious:
Oregon and Ohio State never would have had a chance to play for the national championship last year. If that doesn't shake your sense of college football history to the core, well, nothing will.
Within the space of a couple of hours on Thursday night, Seminole...

• Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl
No. 9 Mississippi (9-3) vs. No. 6 Texas Christian (11-1)
Time: 9:30 a.m. PST. Location: Atlanta. TV: ESPN.
The buzz: Mississippi won its first seven games and was in position to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff, but losses to Louisiana State, Auburn and Arkansas ended those hopes.
